This install needs to be updated, I just wanted to get the page started.
Asus RT-N12 is now supported. Actually it is quite good router for its price.
If you don't need USB and Giga ethernet and 5GHz, it is good alternative
It has bcm4716b0 cpu, 4MB flash and 32MB ram + 2 external removable antennas.
Ok, here it is.. something to start with... then simple GUI update will do.
For Revision B1 of the RT-N12B1 devices use this firmware image:
Check the label on the bottom of your device or view the Top left of the original ASUS firmware for your hardware revision.
To clear NVRAM hold down the WPS button when applying power for 30 seconds on all the RT-N12 models.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
0. Download the firmware above and extract it to your desktop or a convenient location.
1. For simplicity, connect only the PC to one of the router's LAN ports with a normal [uplink] ethernet cable.
2. In order to prevent DHCP from interupting the connection, you will need to manually set the address of your PC's Network
Also make sure all other adapters,such as wireless, which might be seen as 'clients' by the router are disabled.
3. Unplug the power connector from the back of the router.
4. While pushing & holding the recessed Restore button on the back of the router,
5. When the power LED slowly blinks on and off, release the Restore button.
6. Use the Asus Firmware Restoration Utility [which you should have installed on the PC]
7. After the upgrade, the Utility should ask for a router reboot.
Then unplug the power from the router, wait 10 seconds or so and plug the power back in.
8. Return your Net adapter properties for TCP/IP to DHCP 'Automatically Obtain IP'
9. Type 192.168.1.1 into your browser and set your username as root and pick a password.
ALTERNATE INSTALLATION METHOD FOR ASUS TO DD-WRT FW UPDATE
1) Disconnect all ethernet cables from the RT-N12 except 1 going to your NIC.
2) Turn off all wireless clients (notebooks, PS3 etc...).
2a) Turn off all programs on your computer that may be trying to access the internet
3) Ensure DHCP is enabled in the ASUS firmware and retreive IP/DNS automatically is set in your NIC properties.
if your PC is still seeing the router. If not, you may need to reboot router and/or PC.)
4) Do the 30/30/30 peacock method of putting your router in recovery mode.
5) Open the router IP of 192.168.1.1. The page will open to a built in browser (HTTP) recovery console.
6) Click on the link below Reboot to reset/flash the Vram.
7) Click the Browse button to browse to your DD-WRT firmware file location.
8) Click the Upload button.
The router will upload the file fairly quickly, and you will be brought to the next
You will see the LAN1 light turn off and notice the 'Network Cable Unplugged' windows popup
9) Click the 'Continue' link shown on the page.
When it comes back up you will be at the DD-WRT admin login screen.
If the login screen is white and looks very basic you will need to
perform another reboot of the router by removing the power cable.Note: some people say you need to install DD-WRT first. I do NOT recommend anyone to install DD-WRT first before installing Tomato on Asus routers.

Put the router into recovery mode, set a static IP address on the computer then run in the shell:
Wait several minutes while firmware transfers and router updates. Reboot twice, waiting 3 minutes in between each reboot, and the router should now have tomato installed.
